Purpose and function in the centre console

The presented armrest belongs to the Console parts category and is specifically designed for the BMW i3 I01 generation model. Mounted in the front zone of the cabin, it integrates with the centre tunnel, improving phone operation ergonomics and comfort for both the driver and passenger. The manufacturer's design ensures stable mounting and proper alignment with other console elements.

Material, colour scheme and interior fitment

The upholstery is made of natural leather in the Dalbergia Brown shade, characteristic of selected BMW i3 interior configurations. The leather armrest finish:

• increases perceived comfort in daily use,
• provides a pleasant-to-the-touch support surface,
• harmoniously blends with factory panels and seats in the same colour.

Thanks to the use of original leather, the element maintains consistency in texture and colour with other interior components, which is particularly important for repairs or restoring the car to a factory-like condition.

Practical solutions and equipment integration

The centre armrest with telephone function is designed as an integral part of the BMW i3 front console. It allows for convenient use of the manufacturer's phone operation solutions while serving as an ergonomic forearm support. Its placement in the front of the cabin promotes a natural hand position while driving, which improves comfort on longer journeys and in city traffic.

Original BMW part – benefits of choosing used OEM

As an original BMW element, the armrest retains factory dimensions, mounting points, and geometry, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of fitment issues. Choosing a used OEM part is a sensible solution for BMW i3 owners who want to combine cost-effectiveness with maintaining the original look and functionality of the interior.
